Fois Gras Moi...

With the professor sitting at the head of the table, the waiter asked all of us, students-in-Paris, what we thought of the meal. After course-upon-course, I said that I was so full. Quelle Horreur! The literal translation meant I had told the waiter I was illegitimately pregnant.

Well, that was 1977 and this is 2008 and I don't remember the French for what I said but after fabulous meals and most memorable wines in Napa Valley, California, I'm now, me, moi, fois gras.

We went to visit my in-laws in Sacramento and they asked what we'd been doing in Napa Valley. Eating and drinking. No, really, what all had we been doing? Eating and drinking. Really. That's all we've been doing. We've been eating and drinking, eating and drinking.

You would have said something like 'je suis pleine' which is only applied to animals ;)
Anyway, foie gras is not the lightest thing you can eat but it IS so delicious. And those oysters are just making my mouth water!
